Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

On that special day in 1949, the car used for inspection was the open-top version of the Geese 110 provided by Big Brother Northern.

The ordinary version of this car at that time was equipped with a V8 engine with a displacement of 6.0L, with a maximum power of 147kW, a huge body, and a top speed of only 135km/h.

Before the 10th anniversary ceremony in 1959, Spring City Automobile Group brought a fleet of 30 Hongqi CA72 limousines to the Imperial Capital Square, and also produced two open-top versions of the parade vehicles.

This is also the first time that the Chinese people have used their own luxury cars and parade vehicles in the National Day military parade, and for the first time the Chinese automobile manufacturing industry has been demonstrated to the people of the world.

By 1984, Hongqi's CA770TJ continued to serve as a parade vehicle.

Unfortunately, there has been no progress since then.

By 1999, the review car was the Hongqi CA772TJ. This car was basically similar in appearance to the review car used for the 35th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1984.

Only the layout of the open roof is slightly different, and the interior has been changed from cloth to leather. In addition, the vehicle's bulletproof equipment has been further improved.

In the past fifteen years, Spring City Motors has made such little progress.

It also makes people don’t know what to say.

Originally, for this year's event, Spring City Motor also carried out a targeted updated design, and the Hongqi CA7600J was born for this purpose.

Now that they suddenly chose Xingchen Automobile's Xinghe, Spring City Automobile Group was immediately confused.

"Chang Lei, what happened to your research institute?"

"Why is it that after ten years of design, a car model looks like this?"

"The superiors are very dissatisfied with us!"

Zhu Zhengfeng is in a very bad mood now.

Over the past many years, the product parade vehicle has been the exclusive target of Hongqi.

Now, without Spring City Motors obtaining any information in advance, the superiors have handed over this product to Xingchen Motors.

This is definitely a big deal for Zhu Zhengfeng.

Spring City Automobile Group does not make money from Hongqi, especially when Spring City Automobile Group considered its own special purpose and did not place this project in the joint venture Nanshan Hongqi.

Now it has been replaced by models owned by Nanshan Group, and the meaning is very different.

"Mr. Zhu, I also find it strange that our cars have already been produced."

"This review car continues the three-row seat design; and other classic elements are retained. The headlight design continues the round lights and tubular fender shape of Lao Hongqi. The front grille is a fan-shaped design and incorporates The ‘nine beams and eighteen columns’ meaning of traditional architecture, the taillight adopts a palace lantern-like design.”

"I think it's very good. When the expert team evaluated it before, they were also full of praise."

Chang Lei will definitely not take the blame.

If he takes the blame, he will definitely lose his position as the director of the institute.

Although producing this kind of car is a loss-making thing for Spring City Automobile Group, they will lose at least several hundred million on this project.

From an economic point of view, Spring City Automobile lost this order, which can be regarded as saving the company a lot of money in the future.

Of course, what has been spent this time must be spent.

However, in state-owned enterprises, many things cannot be simply calculated by calculating economic accounts. You also need to consider more things.

Even the latter is the most important, related to whether the bosses can be promoted further.

Chang Lei is naturally very aware of this situation. After all, he has been working at Spring City Automobile Group since graduating from college and has been working there for more than thirty years.

I was just thinking about whether I could retire well and live in old age, but now something like this happened.

In fact, before Zhu Zhengfeng found Chang Lei, he had already heard the people below discussing this matter.

He didn't like surfing the Internet very much, so he went online to confirm.

After figuring out the facts, he naturally had to think about how to dig himself out of the hole.

Spring City Automobile Group is going to develop a parade vehicle for this year. Chang Lei is definitely not the one who can make the decision on this matter.

It's not even something that Zhu Zhengfeng can decide on alone.

Now that a problem has arisen, the judgment and collective decision-making of the original expert team will naturally have to be brought out and explained.

Chang Lei almost didn't tell Zhu Zhengfeng that you had personally confirmed this car before.

There are even some configurations that need to be added according to Zhu Zhengfeng's requirements.

But the final result was not ideal, and he died before he was born.

How to deal with this matter naturally requires careful consideration.

"If it is really full of praise, how could the superiors give this task to Xingchen Automobile's Galaxy?"

Zhu Zhengfeng naturally understood the meaning of Chang Lei's words, but he was a little dissatisfied.

At this time, no matter how the decision was originally made, someone must ultimately bear responsibility.

In other words, taking the blame.

Otherwise there will be no way to end this matter.

The car has been delivered and various funds have been spent.

It can be said that those cars are already fixed assets of Spring City Automobile Group.

If fixed assets depreciate for no reason, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a loss of state-owned assets.

It will be a big problem when we deal with audits every year in the future.

Although it will definitely be explained in the end, the process in the middle will definitely be very painful.

Zhu Zhengfeng didn't want to go through such a process.

"Our CA7600J is more advanced than any previous product, and it still uses our own engine."

"But objectively speaking, among all domestic automobile companies, Xingchen Automobile has the highest technical level."

"Their W16 engine is very competitive even from a global perspective."

"And Nanshan Transmission is the first company in the world to develop 10AT, and Galaxy is also the second mass-produced model in the world equipped with 10AT."

"Not to mention that Galaxy also has a series of other intelligent configurations. This product is not only suitable as a parade vehicle or inspection vehicle, but also has its own space for daily use."

"Under such circumstances, it will be very difficult for us to compete with Xingchen Automobile."

"It is not a shame for any domestic product to lose to Xingchen Automobile."

Chang Lei also knew that it would not be a problem to stand up to Zhu Zhengfeng.

After all, Zhu Zhengfeng is his leader. If he doesn't step down from the leadership level, this matter will not have a good outcome.

So after Chang Lei learned the news, he quickly thought of a response plan.

Show resistance appropriately and don't take the blame yourself.

But leaders should also find ways to help solve the problems they are worried about.

It is necessary to find a reason that everyone can accept.

Isn’t your Nanshan Group very powerful?

Haven’t you won so many national awards and received recognition from above?

Then it is not a matter of course for our Spring City Automobile Group to lose to Xingchen Automobile, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Although the new model has been developed, it will still be useful in some reception occasions.

The difference is nothing more than how different the publicity effect is.

Anyway, Spring City Automobile Group has a big business and has some "tuition payment" projects every year, and this one is no exception.

"We are in the automobile industry, so we naturally understand this."

"But this matter cannot be viewed simply that way."

"Our superiors replaced our products without any notification."

"If this problem is not resolved, it may be difficult for Spring City Automobile Group to ask its superiors for policies in the future."

After hearing what Chang Lei said, Zhu Zhengfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

This explanation is not impossible.

There is just no way to perfectly deal with the dissatisfaction of superiors.

So the best thing is to find some other good ways.

"Our Hongqi brand has now established a joint venture with Nanshan Group to establish Nanshan Hongqi. At the beginning, we took out the parade vehicle project out of special considerations."

"Now we can discuss with Nanshan Group and continue to put this project into the joint venture."

"As long as Nanshan Group is not allowed to bear additional costs, I think they have no reason to object."

"In this way, there is not much difference whether you choose Nanshan Group or Nanshan Hongqi's products."

"Nanshan Group itself has better products to submit, and we can accept them."

Chang Lei is an old man.

I have encountered various problems in the past, so my ideas for solving problems are relatively broad.

He quickly dealt with Zhu Zhengfeng's worries and made him no longer embarrassed.

So for Spring City Automobile Group, this matter is over.

But for Mercedes-Benz, they are a bit over the top.

Mercedes-Benz S600 has always been a special reception car for many important occasions. China also purchases a batch of Mercedes-Benz S600 every year for special reception occasions.

After all, Hongqi's products are completely uncompetitive compared to the Mercedes-Benz S600.

But now with the Galaxy of Star Cars, the situation is completely different.

"Auguste, the fact that Galaxy becomes a parade vehicle is likely to have a major impact on the sales of S600 in China, but the impact overseas should be relatively limited."

Yang Ming's mood now is not as relaxed as before.

If Xingchen Auto simply releases a model of the same level as the S600, or even more advanced, there is normally no threat.

But now that the Galaxy car has been selected as a parade vehicle, the situation is completely different.

This means China's huge support for Galaxy, and also means Galaxy's special status in China.

The situation completely changed in an instant.

“Isn’t Nanshan Group a private enterprise?”

"Why is its status in China not like a private enterprise at all?"

"In the past, weren't these models all produced by Spring City Automobile Group?"

August knew China relatively well, but the more he knew, the more questions he had in his mind.

Of course, his so-called understanding must only be relative to foreigners.

In fact, he is half full of water and only sees the surface of many things.

"Nanshan Group is indeed a private enterprise, but it is definitely different from ordinary private enterprises."

"Even in the whole of China, we can't find a private enterprise similar to Nanshan Group."

"The status of industry in a country is unquestionable, and within industry, machine tools, materials, automobiles and other related industries are even more top priority."

"Nanshan Group is a leader in the world in these fields, and it has made a contribution to China."

"I even heard that Nanshan carbon fiber products are widely used in aerospace and have made a great contribution to the improvement of China's military strength."

"As for Nanshan Equipment, various high-end machine tools are also supplied in large quantities to various military industrial enterprises in China. The meaning behind them is very different."

"So the Galaxy being selected as the parade vehicle is actually a matter of course in the eyes of many Chinese people."

"After all, compared with the previous parade vehicles produced by Spring City Motors, Galaxy has all-round advantages."

"It's just that I didn't expect that the Galaxy would be officially selected when it was first released."

"Of course, there may be some information in it that we don't know. For example, Xingchen Motors has communicated with the officials in advance."

"This car is even designed as a military parade vehicle. These contents require further confirmation."

August understood Yang Ming's explanation.

But if you understand, you will understand, but the problem is not solved.

This is a headache.

"We have established a joint venture with Didu Automobile Group. Do you think it is possible for them to help with the marketing of the Mercedes-Benz S600?"

At the critical moment, August thought of Mercedes-Benz's partners.

However, Yang Ming knew very well that the Imperial Automobile Group would not be able to help this time.

"Not to mention that the sales channels of our S600 are not the same as those of Tedu Benz's products, even if they are the same, Tedu Automobile Group is powerless."

"When it comes to administrative levels, Spring City Automobile Group is higher than Didu Automobile Group. If others can't handle things, Didu Automobile can't handle them even more."

"So I think we may need to consider it from other angles and create the unique charm of our products so that people can continue to choose us."

Yang Ming didn't dare to make a big deal at this time, otherwise he wouldn't know how to end it in the future.

Although China's automobile market is getting bigger and bigger, competition is also becoming more and more fierce.

As long as one is not careful, he might be surpassed by other car companies.

Some newly established companies are also developing very fast.

"Then your sales department should take action quickly, don't just talk but don't do it!"

August's words left Yang Ming speechless.

He wanted to take action, but he didn't know exactly how to take action to be effective.

No matter, let’s start moving first.

If you don't move, it's a matter of attitude.

If it doesn't work, it's a problem of ability.

I can admit that my abilities may still need to be improved, but there is absolutely no problem with my work attitude.

This is what Yang Ming is thinking at this time.

…

The Galaxy car was suddenly selected as this year's parade car. The impact of this incident is greater than many people imagined.

As an automobile company also located in Yangcheng, Yangcheng Automobile Group has the most profound experience.

After Zhang Jiaqi and Zeng Guangda communicated for a while, they went directly to Nanshan Group to visit Cao Yang to discuss the cooperation between the two parties, Yangcheng Trumpchi electric taxi and Nanshan Goat City commercial vehicle.

Before that, the main consideration of both parties was to start this business in Yangcheng City first.

After all, with their two families' influence in Yangcheng, this market is simply within their grasp.

No one can take it away.

But now Zhang Jiaqi's appetite is obviously more than that.

"Mr. Cao, the development of electric vehicles is in line with national policy. The electric taxis and electric buses we produce in cooperation with Nanshan Group have completed product design, and prototypes will be rolled out soon."

"At this time, I think we can consider further expanding the market outside Yangcheng and make the business bigger and stronger as soon as possible."

"Not only nationwide, but at least in Lingnan Province, I think we can consider promoting it throughout the province."

"If our teams from both sides are dispatched together, the problem shouldn't be too big."

"Even some markets outside Lingnan Province can start to move."

Zhang Jiaqi knew that Yangcheng Automobile Group's influence was mainly in Yangcheng, and even in Lingnan Province.

After leaving Lingnan Province, there is not enough to see.

Under this circumstance, if Yangcheng Trumpchi's electric taxi business wants to expand, it must go nationwide.

Otherwise, the market space will be slightly smaller.

In the short term, it may not be a big problem.

But from a long-term development perspective, that is definitely not enough.

"There are basically some local or provincial automobile companies in every place. It is not easy for us to go there and grab the market."

"For example, in Shenzhen City, their electric taxis and electric buses have a market, but they will definitely give priority to supporting BYD."

"Similarly, places such as Magic City, Imperial City, Shuangqing, and Spring City also have their own automobile industries, and they will not choose us easily."

"There are very few provinces in the country that have no automobile industry at all."

Cao Yang naturally hopes that the project he cooperates with Yangcheng Automobile will have a very good result.

However, he is also very clear about the actual situation in China.

For buses and taxis in every place, if the local area has its own automobile industry, it must be supported.

So if you travel around the country, you will find some very interesting phenomena.

For example, in Imperial City, most taxis are Hyundai Elantra.

When it comes to Spring City, the Jetta is the most common.

Many other cities have similar situations.

On the contrary, Yangcheng has been relatively open in this regard before, and many brands of models can be seen.

"This is indeed a problem you mentioned, but this time's electric buses and electric taxis are a little different from other models."

“There are probably very few places that can produce products that are as competitive as ours.”

“Especially in terms of cruising range, our products are definitely the most competitive and invincible.”

"In this case, it's hard to make the food appearance in various places too ugly."

"Especially now that Nanshan Group has received strong support from above, and the leaders of various provinces and cities also know this very well."

"For example, in the Imperial City, electric taxis are obviously more environmentally friendly than the Hyundai Elantra. They don't dare to reject this plan easily, right?"

"The situation in Magic City is similar. Unless companies such as Didu Hyundai and Magic City Volkswagen can launch similar products, the market will belong to us."

When it comes to understanding things within the system, Zhang Jiaqi is now much better than Cao Yang.

Various places have some ideas and practices to protect local enterprises, and Yangcheng is the same.

But your approach should not be too extreme, and it must be able to withstand the challenges of other peers.

Otherwise, put a big hat on me and see how you dare to let it go?

For example, in the mobile phone market in later generations, is it possible that the imperial capital will protect Xiaomi and restrict mobile phones from other companies?

Not to mention that it is not operable, even if it is, no one dares or will do it.

Obviously, in Zhang Jiaqi's view, today's electric taxis and electric buses are facing similar situations.

Of course, he did not know the situation of future generations, and he only made conclusions based on his own judgment.

"What you said makes sense. This market can indeed be developed well."

"If we can build electric taxis with an annual output of 100,000 units in advance by then, then Yangcheng Trumpchi will be completely successful."

"And our commercial vehicle companies can continue to expand their territories and even set their sights on overseas markets."

The issue of environmental protection is a very interesting one.

Let’s not talk about whether electric vehicles are really environmentally friendly. Anyway, that’s what everyone is promoting now.

At that time, it is entirely possible to use this publicity point to sell the electric buses jointly produced by Nanshan Group and Yangcheng Motors to all parts of the world.

By then, it is almost inevitable that China's electric vehicle industry will be able to form a scale advantage faster.

In the era of fuel vehicles, it can be said that it is difficult or even impossible for China to surpass countries such as the United States, Germany, and Japan.

But in the era of electric vehicles, all the rules have changed.

The complex power system has become simpler, and the emergence of various new technologies and new parts has not only brought China and other countries to the same starting line, but also relied on market advantages to start quickly and establish a leading advantage.

Once this advantage is formed, it will be very difficult for other countries to surpass it.

Even impossible.

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

"The early bird catches the worm. With Nanshan Group's technical advantages in core components such as batteries and motors, our products will definitely shine in the market."

"Perhaps some people who run illegal cars will take the initiative to buy our electric cars."

I have to say that Zhang Jiaqi's vision is pretty good.

After Yangcheng Trumpchi's electric taxi project is launched, everyone will soon feel the benefits.

As long as there is no problem with the quality of electric vehicles, the operational advantages will be very obvious to taxi drivers.

With benefits, everyone's enthusiasm will naturally rise.

At that time, you won’t need to recommend it, and people will actively consider electric vehicles.
